They said,
"The most beautiful art is
looking into someone's eyes
when they talk about the
things they love.
"
And I said,
"Or looking at someone you love.
Or maybe, just maybe,
by looking at the mirror
is the most beautiful art
anyone should appreciate."
Appreciation post for myself; for you and for everyone as well. You deserve more than the world has to offer.
Her genre,
Honorable.
Her design,
Respected.
Her character,
Dignified.
Her pages,
Well lettered.
Her story,
Unread.
Like a book, mesmerising,
Yet too often judged by her cover.

after all these times,
i finally came to a realization
all the while i was given the signs
that loving you isn't my position.

but no, i still love you,
i still think of you;
but maybe, just maybe—
this time it has to be me.

maybe if i finally let go,
it'd be a chance for me to grow.

we'll get through these together
we'll make it through the bad weather;

we know everyday is a new day,
as long as we're here and we'll still stay.

some days are really rainy,
but with you, i feel less lonely;

one day, hand in hand we'll see the sunshine,
and as one sooner we'll feel just fine.
Iginagapos ko ang sarili gamit ang aking mga palad,
Ayokong maniwala sa kapalaran,
Pagkat hindi na tayo mga batang
Nakikipaglaruan pa
Sa mga mumunti nating mga pangarap.

Sa bawat desisyong ating paninindigan,
Doon natin masasabing, kaya talaga natin.
Mahirap man makipagsapalaran
Sa mga nagtatagisang katauhan
Ngunit, isipin mo,
Hindi natin sila kalaban.

Hindi tayo palamuti sa ating mga istorya,
Tayo yung unang babati sa’ting mga sarili ng,
“Magandang umaga.”
O kung bakit minsan,
Nananatili tayong pagod na pagod
Na tila ba hinihila tayo ng Araw
Na para bang tayo’y mga kalabaw lamang
Na magpapagal at hindi aani.

Iikot tayo sa mundong hindi tumatakbo,
Kundi iikot tayong may dahilan
At hindi tayo magiging pabalik-balik.
Tayo’y matututo sa bawat lubak,
Madisgrasya man tayo’y, hindi pa rin susuko —
At tayong manananatili sa pagwagayway
Ng ating mga bandera,
Na hindi nagpapatangay
Sa mga mistulang diktador na mga alaala.

Magbibilang tayo ng araw,
Ngayong taon
Ngayong araw na ito,
Tayo’y magsisimula —
At hindi tayo magtatapos
Nang walang kabuluhan
Ang ating mga adhikain.

Tayo ay iisa —
Isa, dalawa..
Tatlo..
Tayo na —
At magsimula.

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

And your soul will be replenished
once you're showered with
what you crave
and yearn for the most
Your roots spread
and dig
and grow
You'll spurt into the tall blades
into the night sky, even
Your curled petals
will open to this world
What do you need?
Your stretched petals will tell you
And so will the sun,
the great source in the sky
Grow and grow through the garden
The garden is your home
to rest
to replenish
You need a home
You need others akin to a home
Flowers need love
And love you shall receive, child.

what does it feel like to be held
not by another body
not by a set of limbs, a chest, a chin
but
by another soul

what does it feel like
to see truth in another pair of eyes
instead of hidden intentions
instead of absence

what does it feel like
to hear a familiar heartbeat
resounding next to your own
reaching through skin
through bone
two rhythms
indistinguishable

what does it feel like
to write poems about
a love that exists

you inhale tragedies
and exhale poetry
From where do you get your perseverance?
